seeing red

i see a sweet little girl in a red polka dot dress who fell fast asleep... sitting at the desk... while we were sewing...

i see a big girl in a red coat ready for her first day of school and her little sister in red ladybug rain boots who thinks she is also ready... soon little girl... soon it will be your turn...

i see boxes of red tomatoes and jars and pots of sauced and stewed tomatoes....

i see apples turning red in the trees calling out "it's our turn next".... just hold on little apples... i'm not ready for you quite yet.... but soon... soon it will be your turn...
